I have also found oiled debris and tarballs on the 18th, 19th, 24th and again today 8-25-10 just a couple of miles East of Sandestin. These are just the days I looked for it. Very likely it is washing in every day. BP crews have been around on each of these days, though they rarely are seen picking up tarballs. Usually spotting, sifting sand with fishnets or taking another break.
